from Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Province,
Alex Burmistrov, when told Tuesday morning about the International Olympic Committee’s move to essentially ban Russia from the 2018 PyeongChang Games, minced no words.
“Bullshit,” he said.
“With everything Russia has done for sport — it doesn’t matter, I’m not just talking about hockey or something different — I think it’s bad.”
“It’s not just our country that did doping. Everybody got caught, every country.”
After the NHL said they wouldn’t go, Burmistrov said it was hard to take.
“We want to win the Olympics. It was hard for us.
“It’s even harder right now.”
